The Atlanta Sales and Marketing Council congratulates Berndsen Custom Homes for winning a Gold OBIE in the Single Family Builder (All Builders) Detached $5 million and above category for their Tuxedo Park home in Buckhead. The OBIE awards are the premier awards in the Atlanta new home construction industry.

This home was commissioned as a one-of-a-kind estate home to be built upon the property the owner grew up on as a child. The family’s original ranch home, which was built in the 1950s, was removed, and a new estate home was built in its place that is complete with a large guest wing for the owner’s elder mother to live in. The home is a beautiful example of classical authentic Mediterranean architecture and features exquisite, ornate ceiling and wall moldings throughout. Each room in the home has a distinct, unique character. The exterior of the house features authentic materials and construction techniques that stay true to the Mediterranean style. An authentic barrel tile roof, coral stone cornices, columns, casings and hard-coat stucco over solid masonry block complete the exterior finishes. The house has a flowing, well-circulating floor plan and spacious rear terraces and pool that lends itself to grand entertaining and hosting large charity events. Extensive use of high-quality clad windows and doors and Icyene spray foam insulation has created a very energy efficient 14,000 square foot home.
